Concentration Camps And The Holocaust

History is like a huge puzzle. People can keep find missing pieces to the story as they learn more about it. The Holocaust was one of those moments in history that has lead our minds to curiosity about why such a thing would occur at some point in time. For example, concentration camps. Concentration camps are one of those moments in history that make people’s jaws drop because of how flabbergasted they are to even hear of such a thing. Once you hear about one fact about the Holocaust and concentration camps you want to know every little detail about it to try and analyze what was happening and how it happened. Concentration camps in the Holocaust were a turning point in history because it lead to the deaths of millions of people.

The Holocaust was a very tragic time period as well as the Japanese-American Internment Camps. They took place at different time periods. The Holocaust first started on January 30, 1933 and ended on May 8, 1945. The Japanese-American Internment camps took place on February 19, 1942 to the end of 1945. A brief summary of the Holocaust is that Adolf Hitler, the ruler of Germany lied to the people of Germany. He made it seem as if was “clean” and would make the country great. They obviously believed him because 1: they would have never thought Hitler was going to become a dictator and 2: he probably backed himself up with a lot of evidence. When Hitler became ruler he turned everything upside down. He was not the man he said he was, he was just a dictator. It was then when he made the death camps for the Jews. The Internment Camps however, did not go that extreme as the Holocaust. The Internment camps was declared by Franklin D. Roosevelt. He made every one who was Japanese or had a Japanese decent go to these camps. Even soldiers who had a decent had to go. They gave them very bad food but no death camps were involved. This effect was from the cause of Pearl Harbor. Overall, the Holocaust and Internment Camps were different but similar in many ways.

Bang! Boom! All you can see is darkness, but you hear as if outside. Prisoners of war were captured everywhere during WWII. POW camps had better treatment and were better than than other concentration camps.

Holocaust is the most terrible human action in the history. It absolutely marks the ending of the previous mentality of human-beings. Therefore, a new round of discovery of evilness of human nature has been established. Best uncovering the truth of Holocaust will help prevent the furthur destuction of humanism, which is the most important mission of the society after World War II. There are many sources of Holocaust trying to best uncover the truth, such as the inhabitant’s experience of the immediate suffering in the camp, fragment memories from the survivors. However, only the analyzations with critical sights of these horrible actions will appeal for just humanitarian attentions to the most extent.

Imagine being pried away from your family. Not only that, but being left at the concentration camps, knowing that you are about to face the dreaded word “death”. Concentration camps broke people’s hearts and changed them forever. They had to encounter many terrifying and petrifying medical experiments. Alongside that, the so called “concentration camps” were basically almost becoming, or were, actual death camps. The things that they had to endure were heartbreaking and agonizing. They were starved from the moment that they got there until the end. If they were lucky, their concentration camp would’ve been liberated by the Allies. Most were not so lucky. During the Holocaust, many different concentration camps were built that were to change the lives of people forever.

<br>The Holocaust is the most horrifying crime against humanity of all times. "Hitler, in an attempt to establish the pure Aryan race, decided that all mentally ill, gypsies, non supporters of Nazism, and Jews were to be eliminated from the German population.He proceeded to reach his goal in a systematic scheme." One of his main methods of "doing away" with these "undesirables" was through the use of concentration camps. "In January 1941, in a meeting with his top officials, the 'final solution' was decided". The Jewish population was to be eliminated. In this paper I will discuss concentration camps with a detailed description of the worst one prior to World War II, Buchenwald.

Concentration camps were places designed to torture individuals especially targeting those of Jewish decent. Naming just a couple camps, Auschwitz-Birkenau, Belzec, Buchenwald were some of the major known camps. The holocaust occurred during World War II from January 30, 1933 to May 8, 1945 causing the deaths of about 6 million Jews. Concentration Camps were a big part of the holocaust .These Camps changed the life of many and for the future to come. The reality of these camps and the intense cruelty towards these people is far beyond unbelievable.

"When I came to power, I did not want the concentration camps to become old age prisoners' homes, but instruments of terror"- Adolf Hitler. During the Holocaust, concentration camps killed more than six millions Jews. Concentration camps are in the past, but everyone should know the history and the devastation of the Holocaust and its camps

“In spite of all the terrible things that happened to me, I did not allow Hitler to make me feel less than human.” (Holocaust). Hitler made people feel like they were nothing, he would take their lives away because he didn’t like them. It is important to know that what Hitler did to the Jews is not right. Auschwitz is still standing today as a place people can visit. Many people feel offended by this. Auschwitz is still affecting people today on how they feel and act.

Although concentration camps have been in use before, they were most present in WWII when Hitler rose to power and spread his ideology of racial superiority. The concentration camps during the Holocaust would hold ”Jews, Social Democrats, Communists, liberals, Freemasons, Jehovah 's Witnesses, clergy who opposed the Nazis, and members of national opposition movements” (Concentration Camp System: In Depth). These people were, according to Hitler’s Nazi Theory, inferior to the race he wanted to create, therefore deserving to be eradicated or imprisoned. In short, Concentration camps became a major element in the Nazi regime for WWII, and millions were killed through these camps unfairly.

Auschwitz- the most populated and popular concentration camp within the Holocaust. Soviet troops freed the people incarcerated within the camp. That day, over 7,000 prisoner were released, mostly ill and dying because of the long term effects of the camps. Between 1940 and 1945, over 1.3 million people were deported to Auschwitz and over 1.1 million were murdered.

Over 11 million innocent men, women, and children died during the Holocaust, all because of one man’s beliefs. During World War II and the Holocaust, Hitler’s main goal was to create the perfect race to control Europe and eventually the world. In order to accomplish this, he created concentration camps to isolate and torture individuals. There were 3 main types of camps; death or extermination camps, labor or work camps, and transit camp. Although these camps had different purposes, they all achieved 1 thing; killing millions of individuals and treating them inhumanely.

The concentration camp system was established well before World War II and the “Final Solution.” The camps had commonly been constructed in desolate places, free from German jurisdiction. Thus, allowing murder in both large and small amounts to be carried out surreptitiously. Some, if not most, of these murders being cursorily reported. As

Later, the Nazis began to force Jewish people relocate to the ghettos, sealed off by barbed wire and stone walls. From there they were sent to concentration camps, also known as labor camps, where their life was a cycle of hunger, humiliation, and work that almost always ended in death. However, for Hitler, overwork, starvation, beatings, and bullets weren’t killing Jews fast enough, so he imposed his “final solution” and built 6 death camps where he would kill his victims using poison gas. These death camps were capable of killing 12,000 people a

The years 1939-1945 were seen as the expansion of Concentration Camps for the Nazi regime. Anyone who seemed inferior to the Nazi’s such as Jews, homosexuals, Gypsies, people with disabilities, and others were all sent to either death camps or labor camps. One of biggest groups who were targeted by the the Nazi’s for these camps were the Jews. The concentration camps were used for labor and profit to help the war effort. The death camps were known as the main killing sites for the people who deemed inferior to the Nazi regime. Even people who had different political ideologies were targeted because they were seen to be dangerous by the Nazi authorities. The concentration camps had a huge impact on the Holocaust because of how they changed the lives of every person, leaving a horrible memory for those that survived these horrific camps. Auschwitz was known as the most complex extermination camps which was split into three parts, Auschwitz I, Auschwitz II (Birkenau), and Auschwitz III (Monowitz). Auschwitz is known as one of the largest concentration camps including extermination and forced labor for the prisoners there. Auschwitz is located near Cracow (Krakow) Poland. The Buchenwald concentration camp is well known for being large just like Auschwitz but Buchenwald was mainly known for its location being in old German borders of 1937. SS officials originally opened Buchenwald for only male prisoners until late 1943. The Buchenwald concentration camp was located in the
